Greetings:

Could anyone point me to find papers, journals or documents that
are concerning to Sun's XDBus (XBus + Dynabus ?)?
I recall about one year ago, there was an article in EE Times (?)
which adverted that the Xerox's Dynabus is similar to IEEE Futurebus+
but with different assignment of control & status registers.
Since then, it seems no much advanced info about Dynabus can be afforded
until recently that Sun SPARCcenter 2000 release news mentioned that
the XDbus is adopted in the system.

Meanwhile, it is reported that maximun 32 proceossors can be pluged
into the Furturebus+ backplane. Should this imply that the XDbus being
restricted by the same limitation?

Please forward your direction to me directly.

Thanks,
